The synergy of using the processes of a successful psyche – Self-awareness, Intuition, and Attention (link to Activating A Psyche of Success) together with nurturing the specific 8 Seeds of Success, will lead to a path of activating your very own Psyche of Success.
Growing the 8 Seeds in the Psyche of Success:
- DESIRE: a feeling of excitement about something you want to accomplish. Give yourself permission to want to achieve, accomplish, or have whatever is important for you.
- WORTHINESS: a feeling of knowing that you have strengths and value, and that you can express these to get what you want. Pat yourself on the back for what you do well.
- APPRECIATION: a feeling of gratitude for the resources, conditions, and support that is there to move you forward in the direction of fulfilling your desires.
- FAITH: a feeling that everything will work out for you in the end. The universe is on your side.
- NORMALISING DOUBT: a feeling of understanding the normality of doubt, anxiety, stress, fear, tension etc. that emerges as you push yourself out of your comfort zone. All champions have this feeling – affirm the normality and even the usefulness of these human feelings.
- COURAGE TO ACT: a feeling of boldness that you want to stretch yourself and put yourself in unknown territory for the fun of it, for growth, discovery and excitement.
- ENJOYING THE JOURNEY: keep the challenges exciting, the obstacles light, and making it fun for yourself.
- ALWAYS LEARNING: this is the feeling of humility – owning when you have made a mistake, staying open to continuous learning, despite your success, your potential for growth in many aspects of life needs to be ongoing.
Regardless of whatever area of life you want to feel and achieve success, plant the above 8 seeds of success into your psyche. Feed them with SELF-AWARENESS, INTUITION, and ATTENTION, and you will enjoy reaping what you have sown and continue to sow.
